"""Teachers who cause students to fall intensely in love with learning, change minds. A changed mind leads to changed life.""

After listing the chapter objectives, Cornett opens with this quote to show her position that arts integration adds meaning in children's academic, social, and cultural lives. She does an efficient job showing that art is a conduit for critical thinking and gives facts on the effects that art has on certain domains - intellectual, social, personal, and emotional. Whether Cornett mentions particular schools that are moving towards art integration, or Ashley River Creative Arts Elementary School (ARCA) that has decades of experience with art-based education, she articulates that art integration is always evolving. So, how exactly should art integration happen? The first chapter of the text gathers information …show more content…

Cornett's first chapter framework elaborates on how the combined sources define 10 Pillars for art integration: (a) Philosophy of education; (b) Arts literacy; (c) Collaborative planning; (d) Aesthetic environment; (e) Literature as a core art form; (f) Best teaching practices; (g) Differentiation; (h) Instructional design; (i) Assessment FOR learning; and (j) Arts partnerships." Cornett provides statistics for administrators who have executive powers to persuade how learning takes place in the classroom. Using numerical data, superintendents and principals can understand that including art in the school environment enhances learning, motivation, and cultural awareness, which in turn produces high academic scores and good attendance. Once a school formally integrates art, Cornett makes a strong argument that classroom teachers can "bring life to life, and liveliness to learning" by networking with art specialists, that not only have expertise in art, but with insight into a classroom curriculum, can

    We are constantly being bombarded with visual culture throughout every hour of the day, though at times it may seem overwhelming and desensitizing, it is only getting more prevalent. Paul Duncum is an art educator who is corporating these aspects of visual culture in the classroom everyday and also teaching his students to do this as well.

  • Reflection On PGE 2 Arts Integration

    367 Words  | 1 Pages

    PGE 2 Arts Integration I teach at an arts-integrated elementary school, with students kindergarten through fifth grade. At my school the curriculum integrates the arts in all subjects in addition to offering special areas of arts, music, drama, Spanish, computers and the library or media center where a school wide, student news show is conducted. I have deepened my arts content knowledge through 2 book studies on Claudia Cornett’s books, and ongoing professional development with school and visiting arts specialists. I have acquired and deepened my pedagogical skills to remain current with the professional development offered and to participate in the arts conferences for the past two years. At my school, we have hosted an annual district

    It may seem impossible to include art in an academic setting, but it is possible, effective, and fun. According to Barry Oreck, it has been proven that students learning molecular bonding through dance have a more proficient understanding of the concept. He states, “We have found that if you learn something through a theater game, you can still answer a test question” (New Horizons Dickerson 3). This statement proves that the arts are extremely important and beneficial. With fine arts, students have a safe environment to express themselves, a motivation to stay in school, and higher test scores.

    Art can be used to raise scores in every subject, “Students who took four years of art classes scored 91 points higher on their SAT exams than those who took half a year or less. Multiple studies also confirmed that there is a correlation between art engagement and students’ other achievements.” (Valeriya Metla) Even with the research linking art and better grades some educators think that it is more worth while to only focus on the core classes because it is more important to fund what is being tested than to help raise children who are creative.

    Each year, as a new group of students enter my classroom, I will encourage them to be expressive of their imaginations in their favorite subjects, whether it will be art, literature, math or music. We all have rules and regulations to follow, and each student will know that there is no exception in the school or the classroom. Another goal in my classroom will be to keep the students excited about learning, not to treat school as a game or a social event, but to encourage a unique and fun atmosphere to learn.

  • Argumentative Essay On Art Education

    1154 Words  | 3 Pages

    Art Education is not always valued in school settings. Although some may see it as an unnecessary use of school funding, there are many who believe it is beneficial to students in more ways than one. There are many different studies that have been conducted to test the effects that art education has on school-aged children. Some studies have proven that art education can help students to improve in other academic areas. In a journal article from Ohio State University’s “Theory in Practice,” Karen A Hamblen states, “There are linkages between art learning and learning in other subjects areas and that art study can promote creative behaviors, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement.” It has also been found that the arts can teach children better self-regulatory strategies, and even foster more confidence and self-efficacy in school which relates to confidence in academics. Overall, art education in schools has been very beneficial and has proven to ignite creativity, confidence, critical thinking skills, and academic achievement in students.

  • The Benefits of Funding the Arts

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today’s society anything can be considered “Art”. From the great sounds of a symphony, to the architecture of a modern structure, or even an elephant painting with its trunk, art is what the viewer perceives it to be. Individuals will always agree or disagree with the message behind a certain piece of art, as pieces can be offensive to some, but beautiful to others. Some argue that funding the arts in school is a waste of money, time, or a combination of both, but the benefits outweigh the negatives by far, due to a variety of reasons.

  • Arts Education Obligatory

    If the arts are required, students will have more access to other activities, which will help them in the long run. In a report from the Nonprofit Center for Arts Education, it is found that New York City schools in the top third of graduation rates were also the schools that offered the most art programs. M. Kathleen Thomas, a professor at Mississippi State University, says, “Arts participation can increase sense of agency because students create out of their own life experiences. If arts courses can engage at-risk students in ways other core courses cannot, encouraging high school arts participation could be a useful tool in reducing high school dropout.” (Thomas, 2015)

  • Teaching as an Art or a Science

    718 Words  | 2 Pages

    Teaching as an art demonstrates ways in which the teacher may use creative ways to present the material so it is fun and interesting for his or her students. Some examples are games, “hands-on” activities, and/ or movies relating to the topics being covered. In The First Year, Genevieve DeBose gave disposable cameras to her students for a”getting to know each other” activity. The point of this activity was for her students to be creative and learn about their peers. During this activity Genevieve also learned about her students, like their attitudes toward participating and some of their social skills. She could use what she learned from this activity to help plan her lessons. I agree with Gilbert Highet, who argues that in “The Art of Teaching that successful teaching must be considered an art because it involves two things that cannot be objectively and systematically manipulated: emotions and values.” (Pg 11) I feel emotions play a main role in teaching because the emotion that is being expressed by the teacher will be reflected on his or her students. Although emotions are some main roles, you must also make sure you are teaching the correct values. In order to be a good teacher ...

  • My Art Teacher Essay

    717 Words  | 2 Pages

    Having the ability to shape a student’s life is truly a gift; so many of my art teachers inspired me to follow my dreams. After hearing Taylor Mali’s poem, What Teachers Make, I knew that I wanted to be a teacher: I want to make a difference. Mali spoke with so much passion as he answered the age old question ‘what do teachers make.’ “I make parents see their children for who they are and who they can be,” this quote really moved me because I think in a lot of situations students’ talents are overlooked by their parents (Mali.) My art teachers always had their hand in the community creating sculptures for the local fire department or crocheting hats and baby booties. I feel good teaching shows students how to apply the knowledge they learned. I want to model what they learned so they can apply it to their everyday life. I attend to teach my students to be active members of society and be aware and respectful of others’ culture, and teach them how to apply the skills they learn in art in their everyday life.
